DOVER -- The latest craze to hit the cat show circuit is about to make its debut at New Hampshire Feline Fanciers cat show on Jan. 26-27 at the Dover Middle School.

Spectators are invited to come cheer on the 150-plus pedigreed and household kittens and cats as they compete for top honors at this Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) show that will also feature something new this year -- a Feline Agility Obstacle Course competition!

The feline agility competition features a course of 10 obstacles of stairs, hurdles, hoops, tunnels, and weave poles (www.agility.cfa.org). In fact, the course is similar to what is seen at dog agility tournaments.

Eli, a handsome silver spotted Egyptian Mau from New England, is a winner in the premiership (spay/neuter) class but is well known for his achievements in the agility ring as #1 agility cat in the country. Spectators are invited to come watch and cheer on agility cats including Eli as they soar, run and weave in and out. Don’t blink or you may miss some of the kitties as they zoom through the course.

Does your special kitty like being the center of attention and love to run and chase toys? If so, then owners are invited to enter and compete their kitties in the show and/or agility by submitting their entry online by Jan. 21. All 4-plus month old kitties may enter and must be current on inoculations, neutered/spayed if 8-plus months old and may not be declawed.

Never been to a cat show, then don’t miss this one! Spectators who bring a cat food donation will receive one ticket for a prize drawing. Show Entry and Spectator info available at www.nhff.org Questions? - please email Carol at rasabi@aol.com or call 603-424-9781 no later than 9 pm.
